Bundle Inspiration CTC#579


Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.


Tonight you get to enjoy our amazing CASEING the CATTY blog hop.  To CASE is to Copy And Share Everything or to Copy And Selectively Edit and we love to CASE from our amazing Stampin' Up! catalogues (catty!)



This week, we are CASEING a bundle, and I have actually chosen the bundle above - Scalloped Blooms!


My card cases the Peaceful PIne card at the head of the page 38 in the catalogue.


My card is full of fun texture.  I've used the gorgeous Velveteen Assortment paper which has Bubble Bath, Peaceful Pine and White Velvet and I've used each of them for various part of the card.  The White and Bubble Bath velvet were also given texture with the Stone and Vine Embossing Folder.


The little flowers are die cut from the Sunset Shimmer Vellum with the Barely Blush piece.  I've also used Barely Blush cardstock for the die cut tag, and then stamped with Crisp Cantaloupe.


And inside the card has been stamped as well - this Scalloped Blooms stamp set has some great greetings!


Up next is the extraordinary Peta

Christmas In July with Creativity Abounds Blog Hop


Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.


Welcome to our Creativity Abounds Blog Hop. We are a group of very keen Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from all around the world that are coming together to share our creative ideas with you. We are happy that you can join us and hope that we can Inspire your creativity.

If you live in Australia and shop with me you will receive this tutorial bundle FREE! The tutorial has full instructions and metric and imperial measurements for 13 different cards. The tutorial bundle can be purchased for $25. Please email me if you would like to purchase the bundle.
Here is my card from our tutorial this month!


Our blog hop each month is a project along the theme of the tutorial, but is a different design from the tutorial project. This is an alternative version of my Tutorial Card.

My alternative card features different colours and the stamps rather than the dies from the bundle!


And my colours are Poppy Parade and Peaceful Pine - with some lovely Gold Hot Foiling in the background.


Inside I've stamped another greeting and flower!


This is such a great stamp set for Christmas in July!!

Violet Dreams making things easy!! CASEING the CATTY #578


Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.


Tonight you get to enjoy our amazing CASEING the CATTY blog hop.  To CASE is to Copy And Share Everything or to Copy And Selectively Edit and we love to CASE from our amazing Stampin' Up! catalogues (catty!)



This week, we are CASEING from our new July ONline Exclusive collection.


I've focussed on the glorious Violet Dreams paper - there are 2 whole pages of die cuts included in the DSP!!!  


This week, I needed something easy and no stress - so I popped out a bunch of flowers and a frame from the die cuts and easily put together my card!


I used another of the designer papers for my background which worked perfectly.


And then, I used the left over piece of paper to create another (even simpler) card - 2 for 1 winning!


This second card included a little stamping in the background with the Barely Blush ink as well as the greeting stamped in Hydrangea Hue.


My finishing touch on both cards with the awesome super cute little flower embellishments from the same suite!!
